Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots. This makes teeth appear longer, increases sensitivity, and can leave them more vulnerable to decay and damage.
At Smile Dental Lounge, we focus on restoring both the health and appearance of your gums through gentle, targeted care.
Our approach treats the underlying cause while also improving the overall look of your smile.
Early detection is key — the sooner recession is treated, the better the long-term results.
Healthy, even gums are the foundation of a strong, confident smile.

Specialised Sub-Gingival Cleaning (Curettage)

At Smile Dental Lounge, we perform sub-gingival cleaning, also known as curettage, to remove harmful bacteria, plaque, and infected tissue beneath the gum line — areas that regular cleaning cannot reach.
This procedure is vital for stopping the progression of gum disease and promoting proper healing of the soft tissues.
Our specialists use ultrasonic tools and gentle manual instruments to thoroughly clean the roots while keeping patient comfort a top priority.
By eliminating infection below the surface, sub-gingival cleaning helps stabilise the gums, reduces inflammation, and supports long-term gum regeneration.
It’s one of the most effective preventive steps before grafting or other advanced gum treatments.

How is this done?

• Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing): Removes bacteria and plaque contributing to gum disease.
• Sub-Gingival Cleaning (Curettage): Cleans beneath the gum line to eliminate infected tissue and stop progression.
• Gum Grafting: Replaces lost gum tissue using natural tissue or biocompatible material.
• Desensitising Treatments: Reduces root sensitivity and improves comfort.
• Occlusal Adjustment: Corrects bite pressure that can worsen recession.

Who can do Gum Treatment?

Gum recession treatments are recommended for patients noticing bleeding, swelling, or tooth sensitivity that doesn’t go away.
Those with visible root exposure or shrinking gums should seek evaluation promptly.
It’s especially important for patients with gum disease or a history of aggressive brushing.
Early treatment can prevent irreversible bone loss and tooth instability.
At Smile Dental Lounge, our specialists assess each case carefully to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

IN SUMMARY

Gum recession is more than a cosmetic issue — it’s a serious oral health concern that can affect your teeth and smile. At Smile Dental Lounge, we use gentle, advanced techniques to restore gum health, reduce sensitivity, and balance the appearance of your smile.
